This one is intended to be a fun diversion. Hopefully it works out that way! I grew up working on cars and motorcycles and my Dad has a hotrod shop so it shouldn't be TOO frustrating.

@@ozarksethic I grew up driving tractors, changing irrigation water and raising hogs. Some welding and cutting torch use like on any farm. Then to college and geophysics picking drilling locations and running seismic crews. I wouldn't know where to start on a lot of your projects!

@@rickc4317, growing up on a farm with the requisite repairs and problem solving, you could do any of what I do. It's interesting that you picked drilling sites. One of my friends from undergrad days was a nuclear engineer and his first job was as a well logger for Haliburton. As for where to start, just dive in and be prepared to fix whatever you screw up! LOL! The zero-defects risk avoidance Army of the 90s drove me crazy... I've learned more from screwing stuff up than I ever did by getting it right.

@@ozarksethic LOL. Thanks, Tony. I know just enough about most things to be dangerous.

Yeah, I'm glad it didn't turn into one of those viral shorts! I thought it might be quick & simple but it's going to take a little more diagnosis. The wiring is a dumpster fire, especially under the dash, so it could be the problem. I just wanted to confirm that it could run.

@@ozarksethic I took on a similar project once when I traded a boat that needed work for an older 4x4 Ford ranger that didn't run. After lots of tracing wires it roared to life. It lived long enough for me to take a few joy rides and sell it.

@@PineyWoodsHomestead Good trade! A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money! (Kind of like a horse.) I was looking for an older small pickup when these came across my screen. I would love to have another 80s vintage Toyota pickup.

@@ozarksethic We called boats and horses "money disposal units".

@@rickc4317 Amen! Unlike motorcycles, cars, heavy equipment and wives...
